My DevOps Portfolio Site Is Live – Built with Real Infrastructure, Real Tools
I finally built my portfolio website, and it is live! Built to reflect my DevOps expertise, cloud projects, and technical journey, this isn’t just another portfolio—it’s a real-world demonstration of modern infrastructure, automation, and best practices.

Why This Portfolio Stands Out
Most portfolios focus only on design, but mine goes further—it’s a fully automated, cloud-native project that highlights my DevOps and cloud engineering skills. Every component, from hosting to analytics, was built with scalability, security, and cost efficiency in mind.
Behind the Scenes: Tech Stack & Infrastructure
Frontend: Simple Yet Powerful
- HTML5, CSS3, Vanilla JS – No bloated frameworks, just clean, fast code.
- Mobile-first design – Flawless on any device.
- SEO-optimized – Proper meta tags for better visibility.
- Font Awesome icons – For a polished look.
AWS Cloud Architecture
The site runs on a highly available, low-cost AWS setup:
- S3 – Static website hosting (cost-effective & reliable).
- CloudFront – Global CDN with SSL/TLS for fast loading worldwide.
- Route 53 – Secure DNS management.
- ACM – Free SSL certificates for HTTPS.
- Lambda + CloudWatch – Real-time log processing & monitoring.
- Athena – Deep log analytics without third-party trackers.
DevOps & Automation
- Terraform (IaC) – Entire infrastructure defined as code.
- GitHub Actions CI/CD – Auto-deploys on git push to main.
- Auto-destroy feature – Trigger infrastructure teardown with a commit keyword (great for testing).
Privacy-First Analytics (No Google Tracking!)
Instead of invasive trackers, I built my own GDPR-compliant analytics:
✔ CloudFront logs → Lambda → CloudWatch → Real-time metrics.
✔ 10+ key insights (visitors, page views, errors, geolocation).
✔ Athena for SQL-based log analysis – No external dependencies.
Key Features at a Glance
✅ Global performance (CloudFront CDN)
✅ Zero manual deployments (GitHub Actions CI/CD)
✅ Real-time privacy-safe analytics
✅ Mobile-optimized & SEO-friendly
✅ Direct CV download (PDF hosted securely on S3)
✅ Project showcase with case studies
✅ Cost-efficient (~$6-7/month for enterprise-grade infra)
Why This Matters
This project isn’t just a portfolio—it’s a working example of:
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Automated CI/CD pipelines
- Serverless cloud architecture
- Security & compliance by design
- Cost optimization in the cloud
